    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    Ok Brewers said the acorn goes against the flat side of the washer. Sure enough it dropped in the hole. So thats fixed. Now on to 3rd and 4th once it cools off.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    Drives great now, except I dont have 3rd or 4th. I think the linkage came off some how. It was installed according to the book.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    The washer does not have a place for the acorn to drop into. Thats why its backward and the double nut. All these parts came from Brewers.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    No the adjustment and alignment are correct now based on my mods. The engine is moved back becasue of the Reily Motorsports K frame and engine mounts.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    I used all the RMS components. Last night I drilled the bellhousing and attached the spring. Aside from being moved back all the linkage is parallel. I move the z bar ball stud to accommodate for the engine setback. All is parallel and straight. No binding. I will talk to Bill today about that...

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    Plenty of rod but I'm maxed out on freeplay. Any more and the bearing will be up against the fingers.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    Yes for some reason the engine is setback about 3/4 to 1 inch. No adjustment on the RMS system that I can see. I'm just now seeing these things after years of building and restoration. Z bar is parallel as I moved the ball stud for it back on the frame. New drive shaft so that change is...

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    I will change it because if you play out how it works with the two different mounting positions the spring also helps to return the arm. The other way it just keep slack out.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    What started all this mess was I had a B body pivot arm instead of the A body which is longer. When I was through I had replaced flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, arm pivot and all linkage.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    Motor is sitting on a RMS Coilover system with poly mounts. I am going under the car tomorrow for a final clutch adjustment and try and fix the spring. It may be the angle of the picture making it look wrong but I will check it all out. I have only drove it about 5 miles. I have noticed it is a...

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    Car is a 69 Dart Swinger 340 4 speed. All the linkage and throw out bearing arm came from Brewers after a conversation with Dan. These are the factory parts according to him. I decided to use my chrome Z bar as it matched perfectly with the one from Brewers.

    Clutch Spring Installed Correctly

    This is a 340 with a blowproof bell. It seems to me that the spring is really stressed to much I'll look to see if there is a place on the bell. Thanks all

    Brand New 7290 U-Joint Failure

    Yes but this is a street car and I set the pinion according to a tech at Mark Williams. Its rare that I do the 4K drops but which did not break it, it was the 1, 2 shift, no tires spinning.

    Brand New 7290 U-Joint Failure

    Thanks all, the pinion angle is set up correctly. U joint did not break, just tore up the caps and flange. I will see the car this afternoon and Im betting its those crappy strap clamps that broke. I will change the pinion flange when the pumpkin is rebuilt next week for 1350 and u bolt clamps.

    Brand New 7290 U-Joint Failure

    Well on the street I guess no more power shifting but I think the combination of big tires and the 3:23s with a strap type hold down may have been more than it could take. I havent seen the pinion yoke yet. The drive shaft was built locally without any grease fittings. Had less than 1000 miles...

    Brand New 7290 U-Joint Failure

    Was having fun with the 69 Dart tonight. Did a launch at 4000 and power shifted to second at 6500 (4 speed). The rear 7290 let go and tore up the flange of the drive shaft. I have 255/60-15 drag radials running on 3:23 gears 489 case. I estimate the mtr is 425 to 450 on the power. Solid lifter...
